Practice
The WSC collaborated with a young man, his mother and his school to incorporate into his IEP goals for building work-related and social skills. The goals were unusual and so would not otherwise have been addressed had it not been for the persistence of the three entities.

Who Benefits? How?
The young man now knows how to greet people and recognizes people with whom he comes into contact regularly. He was the towel-boy for his high school sports teams and puts together candy boxes for Civitan.
